"Is Master Red Lotus really in Midnight Sovereign?"
It was Hobbiton. His tiny head poked out from the corner of the stairs.
How dare a mortal eavesdrop on a wizard's conversation? David frowned and was about to yell at Hobbiton when he heard a series of footsteps coming up the stairs from the other side of the second floor.
Ananda rushed out and screamed. She pressed Hobbiton's head and forced him to bow to the crowd with her.
"It's my fault, sir. I was just taking a nap, and the little bastard went missing. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on you, sir. Punish me if you want! "
Ananda kept bowing and apologizing. Her diligent attitude made David too embarrassed to say the curses that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Stop. If he keeps bowing, his head will break." Angor stopped Ananda and pointed at Hobbiton, whose head was spinning and whose eyes were wide open.
Ananda kept holding Hobbiton's head while bowing. She was known for her strength in Midnight Sovereign, and she didn't control her strength well. He turned around and saw that Hobbiton was indeed dizzy. He was floating on the ground and had no idea where he was. The red handprint on the back of his neck was clearly visible.
David snorted in disdain. "Tsk, how violent."
Ananda quickly pulled her hand back, but it was too late. Hobbiton was blinded. He spun around twice at the top of the stairs and fainted on the ground with a thud.
"Hobbiton!" Ananda helped the little boy up in a panic. After checking him in a hurry, she found that he was only unconscious. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
Ananda carried Hobbiton in her arms and bowed again. "I'll take him upstairs now. He won't run away again. Please forgive him, sir."
Angor stopped her.
"I have a question, and I need him to answer it. Since he's unconscious, you can answer it. "Angor pointed at an empty sofa and asked Ananda to sit down.
Ananda hesitated and sat down uneasily. She helped Hobbiton lie down on the sofa and put his head on her lap.
He smiled at Ananda, who blushed and lowered her head.
"I just want to know why you didn't leave after breaking my illusion. What do you want? "
Before he left, he set up a simple illusion spell on the second floor. When he returned, he found that the illusion had been broken. Hobbiton and Ananda hadn't left yet, which made him curious.
Ananda muttered in a low voice, "Didn't Milord tell us to wait?"
"That's right. Wait until I come back. But what I meant was for you all to stay here obediently. Since you've broken my illusion, you're obviously not obedient. Why would a disobedient child wait for me to come back? Clearly, you have other motives. "
Prome and Dave leaned on the other side of the sofa and remained silent. Before going to the auction, Prome promised that he would let Angor take care of Hobbiton. Since he already agreed, he wouldn't say anything else.
Ananda mumbled, "Hobbiton was interested in your illusion, Milord. I didn't stop him. I don't know why, but the illusion disappeared, and I pulled Hobbiton back. "
Angor didn't comment on Ananda's explanation. After a moment of silence, he said, "Forget it. Actually, I'm not interested in your story."
Ananda looked up at Angor, wondering why he would say something like that.
"Take Hobbiton upstairs and go to bed. You two can leave tomorrow morning." Angor waved a hand and made his decision.
He had thought that Hobbiton, a thief, would be a good choice to follow Prome as a servant. However, after meeting Ananda, Angor learned that Hobbiton still had family members. Although it was strange that Hobbiton's family kept him here, they still got along well. Angor didn't want to break up such a happy family, so he decided to let Hobbiton go.
He kept Hobbiton alive because the boy stole money from a wizard. For the sake of the wizard's dignity, he needed to teach them a lesson.
Before going to the auction, Angor didn't set up a difficult illusion so that Hobbiton could leave on his own.
However, Ananda didn't look as happy as she expected. Instead, she looked at Angor as if she wanted to say something.
"Go back. Don't come out and disturb us."
Under Angor's urging, Ananda carried Hobbiton upstairs while looking back every few steps.
After they left, Dave curled his lips. "Hey, Angor. Angor, you're letting them go so easily? I don't care about that woman, but that brat stole my money pouch. His actions, to put it bluntly, are looking down on Magi! "
Angor sighed. "You know I'm exaggerating. I don't want to get involved in any trouble. Letting them go is the best choice."
"Trouble? What kind of trouble? "Dave didn't understand.
Prome sighed and knocked on the back of Dave's head with the back of his finger. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what he was asking? "
"What? He was just asking if Master Red Lotus had arrived at Midnight Sovereign. Eh … "David paused." That's not right. How would a mortal like him know about Lord Red Lotus? "
"Well, we don't know," Prome said. "Since it's related to that lord, it's the biggest problem. Letting them go is the best choice. "
Angor nodded. He thought about this as well, which was why he decided to let them go without asking.
"You're three years older than Angor, but you can't see things as clearly as Angor. Have you been living like a dog all your life? "Prome mocked.
Dave chuckled. "Who cares about such details? You're the one who's tired of living!"
"You're getting bolder now, aren't you? You're even making fun of Master Prome?" Angor chuckled.
Dave grinned. "I'm just trying to lighten the mood."
The clock on the wall showed that it was three in the morning.
"Didn't I say we'll talk about alchemy through the night? Why don't we start now? I'm really curious about Angor's music box, "Prome said. He then turned to Dave." You stay too. "
David's eyes sparkled with surprise as he nodded happily.
"Speaking of the music box, I've been meaning to ask. Why did the music box you made for Toby end up in an auction?" Dave asked.
Angor didn't answer the question. He only smiled.
Dave felt a little embarrassed. "Fine. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. But I have to say, your music box is amazing! I was so shocked! "
While talking about the music box, the three of them began their alchemy talk.
At first, it was Angor talking about the theory behind the music box, as well as his design ideas. Later, it was all Prome talking about his experience in alchemy synthesis.
They talked all the way until it was almost dawn.
Ananda brought the sleeping Hobbiton downstairs. Before she left, she looked at Angor with a pair of curious eyes.
Angor hesitated. As mortals, they would be forced to forget what happened at the Wizard Fair.
Angor considered and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Ananda looked at Hobbiton with a conflicted expression on her face. In the end, she shook her head. "It's nothing. Thank you for forgiving Hobbiton's rudeness, sir."
Ananda put Hobbiton on the ground and kowtowed to the crowd. Then, she left the room.
"This woman is more sensible than that brat." David jumped out at this moment and commented.
Angor chuckled. "Understanding? You won't think that way if I tell you who she is. "
"What? What do you mean? "
"She's a pickpocket too. A leader of pickpockets."
…
Dave didn't sleep a wink last night, and he was already tired after that crazy auction. He said goodbye to Angor and went to rest.
Prome, on the other hand, seemed to be in good spirits. As a level three apprentice, he could go without rest for ten days or half a month without any problems.
"Are you going to rest?"
Angor shook his head. "I slept for a long time last night. I'm not tired now."
"I'll take you to the alchemy shop then."
Angor needed three materials to craft a space storage: the heart of a white stone, a Plane Corrosion Fragment, and a Plane Breeding Fragment. But last night at the auction, he spent a lot of money to buy the black dense stone core, which was better than the white dense stone core. Currently, he was only missing two materials.
Plane Corrosion Fragments and Plane Breeding Fragments were common, but they were only sold in alchemy shops that catered to wizards. Angor needed Prome to show him the way.
"Thank you very much."
"Don't mention it. I asked a shop yesterday to help me ask if they have any alchemy weapons that can restrain the Undead. I'm going to ask anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Angor nodded. He washed his face and changed into a wizard robe that could cover his face before leaving with Prome.
…
At the same time, in a small room inside Twilight Auction Hall.
Lydia crossed her legs, revealing her long, slender legs from the side. They were slender and beautiful.
When a worker from Twilight Well came in with the two girls, he blushed at the sight of their long legs and stuttered, "Lady Lotus, I … I've brought them here. She's the one who sold the Land on the Cloud. "
Lydia looked at the stuttering worker and chuckled. "You're still a newbie, aren't you? So cute. Do you want to come to my room tonight? "
The worker quickly shook his head when he recalled the horrible rumors about Lydia.
"Oi, you don't understand. Piss off. "
After the worker left, Lydia looked at the two apprentices who were still uneasy. "You're the ones who sold the Land on the Cloud?"
